Psalms 115

1 Yahweh, people should praise [only] you [MTY]; they must praise you, not us, because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.

Not to us O Yahweh not to us for to name your ascribe glory on covenant loyalty your on faithfulness your.

2 It is not right that [RHQ] [other] people-groups should say about us, “[They claim that] their God [is very powerful], but [if that is true], why does he not [help them]?”

Why? will they say the nations where? please [is] God their.

3 Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants to!

And God our [is] in the heavens all that he desires he does.

4 [But] their idols are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.

Idols their [are] silver and gold [the] work of [the] hands of humankind.

5 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].

A mouth [belongs] to them and not they speak eyes [belong] to them and not they see.

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything]; they have noses, but they cannot smell [anything].

Ears [belong] to them and not they hear a nose [belongs] to them and not they smell!

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel [anything]; they have feet, but they cannot walk, and they have throats but cannot [even] make any sounds!

Hands their - and not they feel! feet their and not they walk not they make a sound with throat their.

8 The people who make those idols are [as powerless] as those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish nothing], just like their idols!

Like them they will be [those who] make them every [one] who [is] trusting in them.

9 You, [my fellow] Israeli people, trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.

O Israel trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.

10 You priests [MTY], trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.

O house of Aaron trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.

11 [All] you who revere Yahweh, trust in him! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.

O [those] fearing Yahweh trust in Yahweh [is] help their and shield their he.

12 Yahweh has not forgotten us; he will bless us Israeli people [MTY]! He will bless the priests,

Yahweh he has remembered us he will bless he will bless [the] house of Israel he will bless [the] house of Aaron.

13 and he will bless [all] those who revere him; he will bless important [people] and people [who are considered to be] unimportant, [everyone!]

He will bless [those] fearing Yahweh small with great.

14 I desire that Yahweh will give many children to you [my fellow-Israeli people], and to your descendants.

May he add Yahweh to you to you and to children your.

15 I desire that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, will bless [all of] you!

[be] blessed You by Yahweh [the] maker of heaven and earth.

16 The [highest] heavens belong to Yahweh, but he gave [everything that is on] the earth to [us] people.

The heavens [are] heavens of Yahweh and the earth he has given to [the] children of humankind.

17 Dead [people] are not [able to] praise Yahweh; when they descend into the place where dead people are, they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.

Not the dead they will praise Yahweh and not all [those who] go down of silence.

18 But we [who are alive] will thank/praise him, now and forever. Praise Yahweh!

And we - we will bless Yahweh from now and until perpetuity praise Yahweh.
